During this examination, the doctor can visually assess these areas by magnifying them 10-40 times using a special optical device called a colposcope. The goal is to detect abnormal cell changes in a timely manner and, if necessary, take a biopsy (tissue sample).

  • If an abnormality is detected in a Pap smear test
  • If you are at risk of cervical cancer
  • If HPV infection is confirmed
  • If you experience unexplained bleeding or sores in the genitals
How is the procedure performed? Colposcopy is performed in an outpatient setting, and does not require hospitalization. During the examination, the patient is placed in a gynecological chair and the cervix is ​​opened so that it is clearly visible. The doctor examines the area through a colposcope and can better identify cellular changes by applying acetic acid or iodine to suspicious areas.
